There are ideas to expand not only its car park, but also the bus shelters that have a taxi rank where you can park your car hire if required.

It is the Regular Public Transport that is Regional Express which services Parkes Regional Airport. 18 regular flights go through this airport every week, providing convenient connectivity to parts of Australia.

It is with the help of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority that the Parkes Shire Council had managed to develop the Parkes Aerodrome Manual. This had improved the status of the airport from a Registered Airport to a Certified Airport.
